SPA-H Weathering Steel Chemical Composition

 

Grade C ≤ Si Mn P S ≤ Cu Cr Ni ≤
SPA-H 0.12 0.25–0.75 0.20–0.50 0.070–0.150 0.040 0.25–0.60 0.30–1.25 0.65

The balanced alloying of copper, chromium, and nickel enables SPA-H steel to form a stable protective patina, significantly enhancing its resistance to atmospheric corrosion.

 

SPA-H Weathering Steel Mechanical Properties

 

Grade Plate Thickness Yield Strength Tensile Strength Elongation
SPA-H ≤ 6.0 mm ≥ 345 MPa ≥ 480 MPa ≥ 22%
SPA-H > 6.0 mm ≥ 335 MPa ≥ 490 MPa ≥ 15%

These mechanical properties ensure excellent load-bearing capacity, formability, and durability, making SPA-H suitable for demanding outdoor structural applications.

 

Equivalent Grades and Supply Scope

 

Gnee Steel supplies a full range of Corten and weathering steels, including SPA-H steel and ASTM A588. Under JIS G3125, SPA-H is commonly recognized as an equivalent grade to ASTM A588, with comparable atmospheric corrosion resistance and mechanical performance.

What is spa H material?

As Spa-h steel coil material is a weathering steel, it forms the protective patina on the surface which gives it a rustic appearance. The chemical composition of the JIS g3125 spa-h strip includes carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulphur, copper, chromium and nickel.

 

What is spa-h steel equivalent?

Worldwide equivalents of grade SPA-H (Japan: JIS ) Cross reference table for Steel SPA-H (JIS ) and its European equivalent S355J0WP (1.8945)

 

What is the chemical composition of SPA-H Steel?

The main elements include carbon (C), manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), chromium (Cr), and copper (Cu). Their contents are strictly controlled to ensure mechanical properties and weather resistance.

 

How to maintain SPA-H Steel?

SPA-H steel requires minimal maintenance. A stable rust layer protects the steel. Regular cleaning to remove dust or debris and avoiding prolonged water exposure is sufficient.

 

Can SPA-H Steel be welded?

Yes. Low-hydrogen arc welding or gas shielded welding is recommended. Preheating and slow cooling after welding help prevent cracking.
